Once the stoneware set had been fired in the pottery workshop, Xia Lin began to assemble this simple clay chlor-alkali production line. First of all, it is a 10-meter-long paper purification tank connected to a coarse salt dissolving tank for refining brine.

By placing a long wooden board on a long trough with fifteen purification rune disks installed, and allowing an employee to light up the next rune disk every four minutes or so, and then keep them in a firing state, an automatic alternate rune disk assembly line can be realized.

After the continuous action of this long tank, the coarse brine formed in the dissolving tank at the front of the long tank will form refined brine in the middle section, and part of the separated water will return to the dissolving tank to continue to participate in the dissolution of coarse salt.

By opening the valves on the sides every few minutes, the purity of the refined brine can be collected, and the concentration of the brine can even be used directly as normal saline.

When the refined brine is passed into a long heating channel, it will gradually concentrate into saturated salt water, and then enter the electrolytic cells through the clay pipe to fill the space in the tank.

In the electrolytic cell, the arc rune disc acts through the graphite electrode to introduce an electric current into the solution in the tank, and the anode produces chlorine gas, which is piped through the absorption tower of a tank filled with slaked lime, in which calcium hypochlorite, that is, bleaching powder, is generated.

The remaining exhaust gas cannot be directly discharged, and must be absorbed by the lime milk solution, and calcium chlorate and calcium chloride are generated in the process.

The cathode produces hydrogen, which is piped into a steel shell, inside the stoneware, and a combustion reactor filled with diatomaceous earth and lime between the gaps.

After igniting hydrogen with the Rune Disc of the Flame Technique, and then turning on the chlorine inlet switch, the two react in it to form hydrogen chloride gas, and then pass it into water after cooling, and then pass it into water to obtain dilute hydrochloric acid.

As for the electrolyte flowing out of the electrolyte itself, it is a dilute solution of caustic soda and sodium chloride, and a concentrated solution of the two can be obtained by the action of purification again.

After the chlor-alkali production line was built, the data was recalculated several times, and it was found that the ratio of raw materials, the flow rate of brine and the production efficiency could be matched.

At the same time, the most important thing is that after the cost of this production line was acceptable, Xia Lin suspended the process of producing caustic soda from the caustic soda plant, and called the original team of the caustic soda plant, plus 12 employees temporarily transferred from the soda ash plant, to conduct a production training and screening for them.

Although this group of employees has accumulated a lot of experience from the soda ash plant to the caustic soda plant, it is still not enough to reassure Xia Lin, after all, the chemical industry is full of dangers, and their level is enough to use the soil method to burn some soda out.

"This is the latest caustic soda production line, caustic soda is familiar to everyone, it is what our caustic soda plant produces every day.

Transported to soap factories and paper mills, it can be used to make soap and soap for washing, and it can also make our paper white, which can be said to be a very useful chemical raw material.

Recently, the sales of soap factories have been very good, and there has been a shortage of caustic soda, and this production line was established to solve the shortage of caustic soda.

Don't look at these equipment, it doesn't seem to be as high as our original vertical kilns, but their daily output can easily reach 300 kilograms, that is, almost 100 pounds, which is eight times the original.

In other words, the soap factory can only produce more than 2,500 pieces of soap per day due to the constraints of raw materials, but when we put this production line into operation, we will be able to produce more than 20,000 pieces of soap per day."

After briefly introducing the role of this production line, Xia Lin looked at the more than 60 employees of the caustic soda plant and continued:

"However, it is very difficult for this production line to be put into production, especially if it is very demanding on you.

This production line is different from the previous small fights, although it is relatively simple, but it is also a regular chemical production line, which has many operational requirements that require your attention at all times, and now I will explain to you the emergencies that may be encountered in production and the way to deal with them.

First, if you open this electrolyte valve, the electrolyte flowing from the inside is not clear, but black, then this is caused by chlorine dissolving in water, chlorine is a toxic gas, and this black electrolyte will slowly escape chlorine

gas, causing great harm to us.

At this time, the team leader in charge of the electrolytic cell immediately pressed the switch on the wooden board to disconnect the magic stone from the arc rune disk, and then the surrounding people left the factory as soon as possible, and kept the ventilation conditions of the factory building, and only after a day were allowed to re-enter the factory.

Second, if you touch the edge of the electrolytic cell or feel a slight numbness when standing nearby, press the switch immediately to stop production, and open the wooden lid of the electrolytic cell to check for leakage.

Third, if there is a leak of yellow-green gas from this pipe or this device, the production will also be stopped and the surrounding personnel will be evacuated immediately.

Fourth, if there is an abnormal popping sound in this combustion reactor, the team leader immediately closes the valve of this chlorine pipeline, and the others quickly stay away from the combustion reactor!

The team leader in charge of this area must remember that this pipeline must be operated carefully, the valve switch should be small rather than large, and the chlorine concentration must not be too high, which will produce an explosion!

Fifth, if someone comes into contact with that yellow-green gas, don't panic, immediately rinse the contact part with water, if you have difficulty breathing, you can go to this oxygen inhalation room set up here to recuperate, and take this bottle of antidote at the same time, the use of the oxygen inhalation room only needs to flip this switch!"

Xia Lin solemnly explained the possible situation while demonstrating various treatment plans to the employees, including a simple oxygen inhalation room built with wood, lacquer and resin, and cloth with a certain degree of sealing in the caustic soda factory, and an antidote refined by Sophia that I don't know if it has any effect.

Seeing him look so solemn, many employees had a look of concern on their faces, and they seemed to have some fear of this dangerous production line.

"Chemical production is a very dangerous thing, and I hope that everyone will keep in mind the safety regulations of the factory, and to make up for your efforts, your wages will be increased by 30% on the average basis of the industrial park, just like the employees of the steel mills.

That is to say, the hired workers get 50 copper pesas a day, now it is 65 copper pesas a day, and the regular employees get 10 silver mars a decade, and you get 13 silver mars a decade, and so on, and so on.

If you are injured in an accident, the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce will pay you a monthly grant sufficient to support your family, and I promise that this subsidy will be more than nine silver mar. If you die in an accident, you will also receive a pension of three goldenrods.

Now I'm giving you a chance to think about whether you want to stay in the caustic soda plant, or do you want to be demoted to another plant?"

Although there were some alarmist meanings, Xia Lin was not prepared to let this group of employees go up and die without knowing anything, and after explaining in detail the various possible accidents, Xia Lin asked these employees seriously.

「……」

"Boss Xia Lin, I want to stay in the caustic soda factory!"

After a brief moment of silence, Wheeler Cecil, the director of the caustic soda plant, was the first to raise his hand.

It was not easy for him to emerge under Wyatt and become the director of the caustic soda plant, how could he accept the arrangement of demotion and call like this, you must know that there is a huge gap between the treatment and power of the factory director and the workshop director.

What's more, although it is a bit dangerous to stay in the factory to be in charge of production, it has little to do with a factory director like him, and at most he will be punished for accidents.

"Me too!"

"Boss Xia Lin, is this thing really that dangerous?"

Seeing that more than a dozen employees said they wanted to stay, one employee asked hesitantly.

"That's right, the chemical industry is so dangerous, chlorine is a yellowish-green gas, contact or inhalation can corrode the skin, mouth, lungs, make you feel severe pain, difficulty breathing, etc."

Xia Lin nodded and explained without the slightest reservation. What he needs is not employees who are deceived and forced, but warriors who are really willing to develop in the chemical industry.

"Then I want to transfer to another factory."

Hearing Xia Lin's words, the employee shrank his head and whispered. There are also many other employees who are silent

He was silent, and his expression was full of fear, obviously very afraid of the chlorine gas that Xia Lin said.

"Okay, in that case, then you can go down one level and make arrangements, and now you can go to the office building and ask Wyatt to arrange your whereabouts. Are there thirty-eight left? That's enough."

Xia Lin knew that it was human instinct to avoid danger, and he didn't care too much about these people leaving, but he had high hopes for those who were willing to stay. The 38 employees can be divided into three shifts, four groups per shift, and a group of four people to ensure the day and night production of the production line.

The chemical industry is a hurdle that cannot be avoided by the industry, and these people are the seeds in his industrial system, and they must be well cared for.
